According to Kang Ha Neul’s management company, the actor wished to begin his military service quietly and thus did not hold a fan meeting or other farewell activities. Instead, the actor expressed his good-byes before entering the army through social media. The actor stated, “Looking back on my 20s, a lot happened. Thinking of those times, not a single moment was wasted.”

The actor will receive his basic recruitment training at the camp then will move on to serve as a military police officer of the Republic of Korea Capital Defense Command.
